Diamond IOP at Suffolk

The Diamond IOP at Suffolk is a six-week program for people with addiction. Its four-day-a-week structure provides addiction education and counseling components while encouraging clients to apply the recovery skills to their daily lives as productive members of their community. This supportive IOP can serve in a continuum of care following a residential treatment program or as appropriate initial therapy based on criteria set by the American Society of Addiction Medicine.

The IOP runs evenings, from six to nine o’clock, and allows patients to continue working, maintain their current living situation, and improve their relationships, all while receiving services right in their community.

Diamond IOP at Suffolk is currently accepting new patients. This program is made possible through a collaboration with Meridian Psychotherapy, located at 114 North Main Street #2, Suffolk VA.

The key to successful treatment is an initial evaluation and assessment of the patient and his or her family by our treatment professionals. Admission to the Intensive Outpatient Program is based on this assessment and meeting the following criteria:

be at least 18 years old

have a diagnosis of primary chemical dependency

be ready for discharge from a partial hospitalization program (PHP) setting

be sufficiently medically stable for this level of care and not manifest symptoms of withdrawal

exhibit symptoms of an addictive disorder and symptoms of a psychiatric illness of such severity that there is significant interference with social, vocational, or educational functioning

agree to periodic and random urine drug screens and breathalyzer or blood alcohol testing while participating in the program

have the transportation necessary to allow for participation

not be as distressed or disordered as to present an imminent danger to self or others

have a person living in the community who will support the patient’s participation
